This week on Mailbag Monday, Jared tackles three dilemmas! A Thanksgiving cook-off turns political when a boyfriend’s mom panics over a “famous” cornbread stuffing. An airport drop-off after a friend’s trip becomes a moral crisis when lounge access divides the group. And after five great dates, a budding romance gets complicated by holiday stress, unemployment, and the question of when to say “I’m only talking to you.”

Jared is broadcasting from the porch of his new Delray Beach apartment for Pop Culture Thursday, thanks to a WiFi disaster he’ll fully unravel on Coffee with JTrain. He kicks things off with a Business Insider piece about billionaire Bill Ackman giving the world’s most awkward dating advice, and dives into why “May I meet you?” sounds more like something an alien would say in a human disguise. Jared then riffs on Zac Efron strategically showing up for his brother on Dancing with the Stars, Kim Kardashian’s finger-piercing controversy, and Zach Bryan’s dramatic “earth-shattering” mental health headline that turns out to be far more sincere than the title suggests. Finally, he breaks down Minka Kelly shutting down Jenna Bush Hager live on air and shares his own memories of feeling quietly judged on morning TV. It’s headlines, riffs, porch recording energy, and plenty of pop culture chaos.

Jared sits down with comedian, friend, and world-class sh*t talker Jay Jurden, fresh off his new Hulu special “Yes Ma’am.” They get into what a special should really be in 2024, why joke-dense hours matter, and how comics are secretly puzzle nerds fitting together bits from tweets, clips, and crowd moments. Jay explains his philosophy on crowd work, why some comics are basically filming infomercials instead of shows, and what it means to actually respect the people who work all day, then pay to watch you work. Then things get delightfully unhinged as they break down queer sexting etiquette, AI booty, real ass on God’s green earth, and why we might need to regulate tech just to protect Miami poolside content. Jared closes with their games “Expand on That” and “Talk Shit or Get Bit,” letting Jay riff on Kim K as a lawyer, shorter days, and Thanksgiving, all while reminding you to go watch “Yes Ma’am” on Hulu !

Jared is coming to you from Durham, NC for another gloriously petty Ticked Off Tuesday, and he’s got thoughts about “former bank” hotels, mysterious staff-only Wi-Fi, rogue outlets, and the front desk guy who hit him with the dreaded “you look familiar.” Between burps, coffees, and Bonvoy vs. Hilton debates, he breaks down life on the road and why all he wants is a cute, functional room where he doesn’t have to move furniture just to charge his laptop. Then it’s on to listener complaints: a cursed U-Haul mirror box order that vanishes into the ether, a nightmare flight seated next to the world’s greasiest seatmate, and someone finally saying what we’re all thinking about pumpkin spice lattes (liquid fall-flavored disappointment). Along the way, Jared dishes on his upcoming tour stops in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Royal Oak, Columbus, Orlando, San Diego for New Year’s, and Philly, and why you need a night of laughs away from your family this holiday season. Hit play, submit your own grievances, and remember, if you’re annoyed, you’re in the right place.
